microsoft.public.word.vba.general

Thanks for the info.
I have 3 questions:
1. Is there any log file, where I can see why word cashed out?
2. Is there a way to completely Disable the Auto Recover Functionality?(
which means word will never be able to throw crsahing error to the user)
3. Why this happens only in some versions of Word 2003, is there a patch
which can fix this, or does this happen because of some other programs
installed(I have checked for the Adobe Add in, its not present).

Thanks in Advance
